> Note taking app should not have custom keyboard. Bogus.

That wasn't the rejection.

> Apps are not allowed to have UX gesture similar to Apple because they become confusingly similar to Apple product. Bogus.

That wasn't the rejection either. It wasn't rejecting the concept of a horizontal swipe causing an action. In fact, Apple intentionally makes it extremely easy for horizontal swipes to cause actions.

> No matter how you try to spin it, these decisions is just Apple screwing over their app developers.

Yes, Apple is well known for hating their developers and intentionally trying to screw them over, and every 3rd-party developer that gets rejected is an innocent victim. Makes perfect sense.

Edit: If you didn't get it, that last paragraph was sarcasm.
